oh y'all! This is fantastic! I'm so stoked for all the adventures you'll have! And there are also tents that attach to the hatch so you can use both the camper part of the truck as like the bed area and the tent for 'living'. And she's so much more pretty than either of those vans. And newer. And less miles. Okay...all the benes are much better than a van or a bus you'd have to build out.
Good idea. I was thinking of that setup to begin with but you were talking "van" and that threw me for a curve ball. So, for your sake, I'm glad neither of the vans were tempting. I think that choice would have been regrettable. Congratulations! 😊
Yaaaaas you listened to my advice! What an awesome truck. Can't wait to see the trailer y'all get. Don't forget to checkout the insurance and towing auctions, there's great stuff for sale Both of those sprinters were hard no's from me. First one was gonna need a new 15k transmission and the second one with the leaky radiator and rust was super sketch, bet that one would blow an engine in 20k miles. That 16k would buy an amazing sprinter direct from a government auction with no issues, Canada prices + rust issues is crazy
LOL!! Did you just buy a big beautiful truck from a dealership with one of those AIR-BLOWN MOVING MAN THINGS?? I heard someone say they weren't doing that!! LOL!
Ellen!!! Love you, miss you!!!! ❤️ we do our best to talk things out and are happy to share those convos (clearly lol). I think filming actually makes it easier for us to make a decision sometimes lol
Yes thank you so much! This defintiely makes life essier and we are so glad to have the versatility to do a lot more. No winch yet but that will be a sweet upgrade!!!
Congratulations 🎊 Beautiful truck, for a Beautiful family. I was thinking .... DON'T settle for the rust bucket vans. Y'all made a good choice..... but it's true, you really have to watch out for those sneaky dealer add-ons. My wife and I are full-time vanlifers too .... Georgia 🇺🇸 Take care !
Omg you guys! 🤩💓🎉 We love your new wheels because of what it means for your future! What a great idea. We're excited to see the cool adventures you'll have with this rig! It looks like Paco approves too. 😆
Awwww 🎉 gonna be FNA for sure! Loved the first one, red was awesome but definitely hidden problems. What a switch 😂. 5 window bus is wider and doable for parking and camp groups. Wish I had a Frank 😅❤. Love to y'all ❤
Super nice truck....congratulations. trucks are soooo expensive now a days, Hopefully more youtubers will start watching your videos so u guys generate more income to make those hefty truck payments...or maybe this will mean we might see more frequent videos now :)
Congratulations to both of you on your new ride! I’m just saying, I am so tired of dealers being greedy with their fees. Covid is over. The cars are stacking up on the dealer lots they are still being greedy with their ridiculous fees. So sorry you had to go through this surprise when you thought you were going to be driving it off the lot. Thanks for all the great videos and Contant!
God bless you guys. So it looks like you are planning to permanently settle in Canada and just take occasional trips. The truck will definitely be good for Fix it Frank. It has a nice enclosed bed to keep his tools dry and safe.
Congratulations guys! It's a good looking truck. I hope the truck works out well for you, and the truck bed shell will give you lots of use. I hope it is lockable. Everly has her daddy's eyes, but you already know that. Sooo cute.
yeah 4x4 is where it's at!!! Now we just need a trailer to go with it haha Sending lots of love to you in Malaysia and THANK YOU for being with us for so long :)
Super excited for you guys!! We’ve been looking at trucks too- Topkick looks pretty dope but I dunno! We want to put our own box onto it. The pull behind trailer seems like a great idea for you guyssss. Yay ❤
So hard to know what the next best choice is gonna be! Just gotta go with our guts on this one :) Whatever you guys end up in, I'm sure it will be stunning!!!
Sweet ride. Congratulations 🍾🎉🎊. Darn salesman always trying to get one over on u. Frankie had a right to be pissed. They knew how excited yall was so they was being slick. Glad yall are happy with it.
for the low low price.... HA! that's why you always have to read the fine print, gotta make sure you're getting what you think!! But we are so happy with it and have really been enjoying driving it around. We're in love!!! lol
Good for you. You are going to get really used to driving a truck. Being higher and more visabiliy. You will never go back to a regular car. But watch the speed. You wil be over the limit in a hurry.
So happy for you guys and that truck is beautiful 😊 can't wait see what is next ❤❤❤ Everly is the most tootin babies my gosh she has so much personality 😅
@@FnAVanLife I won't disagree 😂 but will note we're all smart in different ways. Seeing that a truck was the ticket was easy for me since I've been doing the kind of stuff Frankie's starting on for longer than y'all have been alive. I've hauled 21' pipe sections in a Datsun B210, stacks of cement board in a Chrysler minivan, 4000' rolls of hi tensile fence wire on a motorcycle over the mountain... When there's a need, innovate. When I rebuilt my front porch last fall, hauling a bedfull of treated 2x10s, 2x6s, and a couple 16' 6x6s in my pickup was a piece of cake in comparison. I also hauled a pile of 20' composite decking boards, which wasn't heavy, but they're long and flexible (like Zappa's pup tentacle's feet) 😂 I ended up running those from the back of the 8' bed up over the cab and strapped em secure.
Nice truck. Too nice to work out of. You should have bought an old beater for work and kept looking for your ideal ride IMHO. I had a 1998 ranger that moved so much stuff and would still be running today if some jerk didn’t hit me and total it. She’s a beauty though.
@@FnAVanLife LOL I told my ex when she wanted me to buy a new truck I would take a hammer and chains to it just to save time. I bought a Ranger hurricane Francis dropped a trea on. Just never had to worry about a scratch or dent ever!
We are in Ontario too. This part of Canada feels a lot more like the states in the amount of people. I already miss the NW part of Canada .... I am looking forward to seeing the maritime area of Canada. I also just found out there is an island owned by France so I might go check that out too. Did you guys know that?? Looks like I wasn't too off from my guess, something completely different....I hope it all works out for your family 💜
So cool you're exploring our neck of the woods. And Yes there are so much more people in Ontario especially around Toronto. Can't wait for you to get to France, I mean the east coast! lol Lots of love!
I love the new plan! Wonderful! So happy for the three of you! Thanks for taking us along and explaining your thought processes. Loved, loved, loved Everly’s baby babbles and “mama”! 💗
Nice. I don’t think they can charge you more fees after they disclosed an amount Here is California they would have to eat the extra cost. That’s good bad but I get you wanted to move on. RAM good choice over sprinter
Yeah, cause we have no credit in Canada at the moment. It is something we have to build up here. We have funds and credit in the USA since that is where Frankie is from and where Alex has lived and worked since her early 20s.
You guys will get tired of hooking and offhooking that trailer. Fighting for parking spots and all that good stuff. But hey, Maybe you'll dominate that I never had a hauling trailer. Good luck.
800$ is 800$!! Dont feel sorry for freaking out your signing your lives away!! Congrats on your new truck!
I trust anything Frankie says + Alex is always thinking business = Power Couple

So sweet how Everly was waving and saying bye! She’s also learning to talk using her hands like mama 😁🩷
I'm so excited for you!!! Love the new truck and the color. So cute when Everly was waving and saying mama. Have a good weekend. 😊
it looks awesome, congrats guys, and you could have a camper in the back, looks great, also paco and everly's smile was a good indicator 😁😀
Congratulations…good choice 😀 and welcome to the Ram family.
It's RAMtastic 😁
Welcome to the truck / trailer world! I can't wait to see what you all do with the trailer.
Yeah yeah!!! We are excited to join the crew!!! We're excited to figure that out too! So many options :D
Congratulations. So happy for you
Awesome!! So happy for you guys. It really is a nice truck. Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉
can't wait to see what caravan/trailer you choose to live in!
So glad you went with the last option! Safer for the family hands down.
Congrats Guy's ~ things are on the up and up!!
Congratulations guys, this is exactly what you needed. A trailer to pull will be the best thing for your growing family.
Listen to Frank he knows what he's talking about when it comes to cars.👍🏽
Thank bud. She definitely listens to me when we are talking cars now. She knows I have our best interests at heart. 🥰
LOL!! Did you just buy a big beautiful truck from a dealership with one of those AIR-BLOWN MOVING MAN THINGS?? I heard someone say they weren't doing that!! LOL!
Sweeeet new wheels! Love how you two work out your solutions.
Ellen!!! Love you, miss you!!!! ❤️ we do our best to talk things out and are happy to share those convos (clearly lol). I think filming actually makes it easier for us to make a decision sometimes lol
Everly needs a little Paris sweatshirt. I've been watching you in that, Alex, from the beginning. ❤🗼 Use it in good health!
Tension! Uncertainty!
Passionate and dramatic baby narration!
Now just get a trailer to live in and tow behind the truck! Best of both worlds! A truck for hauling and working, and a home!
I'm so happy for you guys! Now hopefully a lot of stress will be lifted. Make sure you have a winch on the front if you're going 4-wheeling.
Yes thank you so much! This defintiely makes life essier and we are so glad to have the versatility to do a lot more. No winch yet but that will be a sweet upgrade!!!
@@FnAVanLife
A winch can be a helpful tool for recovery, but line choice and vehicle control can keep you from needing to be recovered.
It’s enjoyable watching your adventures. You have an adorable baby.
Congratulations on your new truck can’t wait to see what you get for your home
Epppp us too!!! It's all a big mystery at the moment haha
Awesome purchase guys!! Love to you all!! 🌸💕
We are so happy and we miss you guys and we love you right back!! xo
Congratulations ❤

Whoot! Whoot! It feels so good to be on the other side of a major decision. 🎉❤
I love the new vehicle!! There are so many possibilities with it. So happy for you guys. ❤
Yay!! Thank you so much! Lots of love xo
I seen a video the other day, a ex Van builder building out utility trailer into home on wheels, sides are straight, more room for solar
Omg you guys! 🤩💓🎉 We love your new wheels because of what it means for your future! What a great idea. We're excited to see the cool adventures you'll have with this rig! It looks like Paco approves too. 😆
Thank you both so much Paul and Sarah!!! We can't wait to see you guys (fingers crossed!!!) And enjoy the new rig!!!

It's been so awesome! We're ready for adventure :) Thanks for the love!!
God bless you guys. So it looks like you are planning to permanently settle in Canada and just take occasional trips. The truck will definitely be good for Fix it Frank. It has a nice enclosed bed to keep his tools dry and safe.
So glad you decided on this, I was thinking you may have an easier time with a setup like this after your last video. Cheers
You nailed it then! We are really happy with the choice and hope it's gonna be a good one!!
To much chaos
Congratulations guys! It's a good looking truck. I hope the truck works out well for you, and the truck bed shell will give you lots of use. I hope it is lockable. Everly has her daddy's eyes, but you already know that. Sooo cute.
There are some great points about doing it this way. Look forward to catching up ! See YT kept your last four vids out of my feed 👿no bueno.
New cars are so much fun! Congrats!
Congrat guys..juz so happy u get a 4x4.
It juz seem right!
Nnway ..greeting from Malaysia..been following u guys since the van days..
yeah 4x4 is where it's at!!! Now we just need a trailer to go with it haha Sending lots of love to you in Malaysia and THANK YOU for being with us for so long :)
bro your Missus thinks she's in a Monster Truck!! lol
Omg! Exactly what I suggested above before I saw the whole video. Awesome! Congratulations!
Great minds think alike Laura!! lol Thank you so much!!
Dad to the rescue!
Always!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Congrats on the new truck looks so sick!!! I’m glad you’re figuring it out! And damn that is a cute ass baby!!😊
Thank you so much!!! We absolutely love it - the truck AND the baby! lol
If he works a 2 day job bring the camper and sleep in it over night, saves on driving
Good luck on the purchase now when you look for the other part make sure you can give it a lift for ground clearance
Smart!! Yeah the trailer needs to be able to go all the places too, beefy tired, upgraded suspension, a beast! Lol
Nice set of wheels, congratulations! 🥳
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Super excited for you guys!! We’ve been looking at trucks too- Topkick looks pretty dope but I dunno! We want to put our own box onto it. The pull behind trailer seems like a great idea for you guyssss. Yay ❤
So hard to know what the next best choice is gonna be! Just gotta go with our guts on this one :) Whatever you guys end up in, I'm sure it will be stunning!!!
Yay! Now eventually a pull behind! Nice truck!
It's gonna be great!!!
Making good decisions guys.
You guys should get a hold of my daughter Christina she is selling her van you guys met up in Bellingham
Well done. I can’t wait to see what trailer yall get.
Yes us too!!! It's gonna be FnA!!!
💜💜💜
Sweet ride. Congratulations 🍾🎉🎊. Darn salesman always trying to get one over on u. Frankie had a right to be pissed. They knew how excited yall was so they was being slick. Glad yall are happy with it.
for the low low price.... HA! that's why you always have to read the fine print, gotta make sure you're getting what you think!! But we are so happy with it and have really been enjoying driving it around. We're in love!!! lol
A lot of references to "Tools," "Bags" and "Behinds" in this video!
You're gonna love our deck video 🤣🤣🤣
I guessed good, ok, almost, I said suv, ya'll did better !!!! Congratulations 😂
hahah I'm glad you approve!!! :P
Good for you. You are going to get really used to driving a truck. Being higher and more visabiliy. You will never go back to a regular car. But watch the speed. You wil be over the limit in a hurry.
So happy for you guys and that truck is beautiful 😊 can't wait see what is next ❤❤❤ Everly is the most tootin babies my gosh she has so much personality 😅
Thank you thank you!!! We are so excited for this truck and all the adventures we're going to have in her :)
Big suv and a travel trailer
So close!!!!
Wowzer...CONGRATS
Thank you so so much Carol!
There is a dealer in london ontario that sellls buses already classed as rv there on marketplace
We gotta check that out!
I made a mistake its in waterdown ont near Hamilton called schooliez
Awesome choice and you only have one motor to worry about!
and THAT is the big win!!! Thank you so much Libby :)
😂 that's what I told my wife at the beginning - they should be getting a pickup for the business.
You are too smart!!! 💓 this is defintiely the best choice for our lives right now. Can't wait for it all to unfold!

why did yall sell the van you built in Florida before the baby came?
We would like to rebuild it for the baby, and it made sense financially to sell Olive.
Congratulations 🎉
Yay!!! Thanks Keith!!!
@@FnAVanLife the truck is way better than those Vans you guys looked at. Waaaayyyy better choice. I still vote for sunny and Big Blu as your car names
Did you just call your baby girl a dog ? That’s so funny !
omg I hope not! lol

Yay!!! Thank you so much!!!

Have seen some amazing ones.
Yes we are going to build something beautiful!!
I just think a sprinter sized van is going to be too small very soooon!

Oh forgot … FanA Van got a Ram. 😂
How about a truck and pull behind trailer? Truck for business, more space in trailer for baby girl.
love the idea. Keep on watching till the end and you will see what we choose.
Love you guys.
love you right back!
Win win🎉!
Yes yes!!!! 😁😁😁😁
Hot Lips❤ the red van!
Omg I know right!?!? 💋
Did you have your Dad co-sign for the finance? As he is sitting with pen in hand.
Yeah, cause we have no credit in Canada at the moment. It is something we have to build up here. We have funds and credit in the USA since that is where Frankie is from and where Alex has lived and worked since her early 20s.
They make a red ram now
Snazzy!!!!
@@FnAVanLife love the new truck
That red van is full of red flags.
Totally agreed.
Sprinters, Pro masters are a bag of problems. specially used. And parts and maintenance super expensive.
You guys will get tired of hooking and offhooking that trailer. Fighting for parking spots and all that good stuff. But hey, Maybe you'll dominate that I never had a hauling trailer. Good luck.
And you could use it for work
Yes exactly! Fix it Frank is in business!!!
Don’t BuY either!!!
😅😅😅😅
It is a big deal.moving carseats is the angle and the devil lolololol saves lives but can be a beast too
haha right?!! And we haven't even gotten to the stage when the car seats are covered in goo and food LOL
Awesome wheels guys❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!!!
I have liked watching your journey but not paying to watch you guys so enjoy
All the video are free for you to enjoy :) We're not asking you to pay for anything.
😀🙃😏😊
Since I start writing these messages before I see the full video Please forgive me for any misunderstanding and don't take my advise negatively.
Hahah no worries!! We love that you get excited and want to jump in!
Car dealers are shaddy AF!!! Those guys suck!
🇸🇻🫶🇺🇸🫵👩🧔🏻♂️👶
😁😁😁😁😁
You guys never learn. Please shuttle van bus and a 10x6 enclosed trailer. Build a bathroom and everything else modular or build over time.
Let them do them.
You talk a lot about tools and wood.....lmao
Some of the best things in life! Lol
